i never been/can't be diagnosed, in my country they think only children can "caught" asperger or autism(i'm an adult now)
...but i took the online test and the result shows that i'm in the spectrum...
so this is what i want to ask...

my teachers used to accused be for not listening to them, or that i seems to be daydreaming, or not paying attention
when i was paying attention to them...
and this give them excuse to treat me badly :(
does this happens to you too? if so, how do you explain to them?

is this means i really have asperger? i mean, i have difficulties keeping relationships all the time, and people usually call me a weirdo/freak/etc, but could it be i really have asperger?
it seems unbelievable, and when i told my family, they think asperger is some kind of mental illness and this freak them out :(

You probably do have Asperger's if you fit the symptoms. Here is a thorough diagnostic procedure for adults: Adult Asperger's Assessment

I never bothered telling my family I have it, just because I can't anticipate the outcome.

i tried reading your pdf... it's kinda confusing :p but
i already took a test here before...and the result is :
Image
Your Aspie score: 126 of 200
Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 71 of 200
You are very likely an Aspie

..but i dont really understand what the test means

If you have the opportunity to travel outside your country, maybe you can get diagnosed? The test you took means you probably do have Asperger's. If you scroll to the last half of the pdf, you should see all the criteria needed for a diagnosis. I would also suggest the Empathy Quotient and Autism quotient tests, both of which you can find here: BaronCohen

hi,
i took the baron-cohen test here : http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/9.12/aqtest.html
and i got 40
is this the same thing with your pdf test?

what doctor do you go to? to get diagnosed? most doctor specialized in diagnosing asperger & autism in children... can i get diagnosed there? can they diagnose adult too?
